    I'm just afraid I will lockup myself. Like if the equipment fails. Everything will go like haywire.

    Or worst still, my own cameras catch me doing weird things. Then somehow it gets circulated on the internet.

    Or some hacker gains control... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh helpz me... LOL!

    I think I'll stick to the traditional method of home security.

      i kinda agree.. Especially when you are hanky pankying with your candy dolls, we/you/us do not want cameras surrounding we/you/us. It gets onto youtube~~ >=D

    I don't need such famcy-mancy security whatchamacallits! I prefer to secure my house my own way rather than hire some company to do it for me. Who knows, maybe THEY'RE setting this up and they're actually putting these machines into your home so that they can monitor your every movement and find out everything about you and use it against you! O_o

    Maybe a fingerprint scanning device on the front door is enough XD

      Maybe I do need it here in the Philippines. I mean, criminals can be armed from knives to M-16 rifles! Commonly, when the police capture some criminal, he usually has a knife, an illegally-owned gun and a grenade... now that I think about it... this security network is not enough if it were available here! lol XD

        Another reason why I'm a firm believer in legally owning a firearm and the right to conceal-carry said firearm and to use previously referenced firearm in self defense--competently. Besides, I hardly qualify someone running around in something that looks clunky and noisy with a moderate sized stick worth much protection nor do I like the thought of allowing others to monitor myself either or have faith in an ad campaign designed around a black belt running and posing with the prospective security force whom I would not trust more than a Private First Class of mine to do on a daily basis.

          Exactly my point. That's why I'm planning to own a gun when I get the money and when I'm old enough. I feel that I'm in danger everytime I go outside. I myself have witnessed a crime in action but it wasn't the istabyouwithknife kind of crime. Nonetheless, if I were a victim of a crime I'll definitely fight back. Sadly I feel that I'm too weak to defend myself despite the fact that I do karate and was enrolled in ROTC and CAT.

    No need for that; I can buy and place a couple of good locks myself methinks. Wouldn't know if it is even necessary: how is the burglar rate in Japan?
    About the computer monitoring: don't need it, would never use it, but have had to deal with it, especially in highschool. They kept blocking all the 'good' sites (and even non-ero ones), so you couln't even relax when your homework was long done.

    But from what i can gather, the overal crime/burglary rate is already considerably low in Japan (compared with other countries)

    I don't think this is really required to prevent burglary, that is just way too much security.
    It's very safe here I guess... never had a break-in, only have heard of 2 cases of break-ins in my area. With a good neighborhood, a motion-sensor alarm would suffice. Every household is required by law to have smoke-alarms here. just hope that the neighbours are kind and willing enough to call the police/fire service when the alarm goes off.

    I can just imagine Alsok people turning on the cameras remotely and having a nice laugh at what some of their clients are doing.

    The security at my office is pretty tight. A determined intruder would probably have no problem getting in, but he'll set off so many freaking alarms the police will be all waiting for him when he tries to get out. I suppose Alsok is aiming at something like that.

    The security and monitoring technology are pretty advanced these days. Security cameras can even automatically detect suspicious behavior and alert a human operator. Computers also make it very easy for employers to know exactly what employees are doing. It's a given that companies will spy on their employees.

    Yeah, I think I'll just stick with locking my doors... spend the rest on home and contents insurance.

    I've seen friends' houses with all the whizz bang gadgetry, and as far as I can tell all it does is make life difficult when you come home and just want to collapse into bed. I don't think the little sticker even makes that much of a detterent. One set of friends had something similar to this mob "looking after" them and their place got knocked over three times.

    Are they really dressed in that SWAT team gear? If yes it's quite impressive for a home protection company.

    Isn't Japan like quite safe? Would people actually need or want such services? It's not common to find such services in Singapore. It's relatively safe here. Prolly only the landed houses carries a burglar alarm when someone tries to break in. Personally, I have a heat sensor and panic alarm at home.

    The security robots looks just lame? No Gundams, Gurren-Laganns or Valkyries?

    My home has two security systems:
    1. A smoke detector.
    2. A four-legged, mobile, semi-intelligent security system that sometimes makes barking noises. Though it probably wouldn't scare off anyone. It's far more likely that burglars would laugh too hard about it to be able to do anything.

    It's pretty safe here so we don't need a company like Alsok. The worst thing that ever happened to us is that someone stole our rotary clothesline.

    LOL this is too much. People have tried to break into my apartment before and even I think this is excessive. I just have giant bolts on my door, and these metal plate thingys (I don't know what they are called) that prevent a crowbar getting into the door. Also have locks on my deck, and a smoke detector. When we had a car it go broken into all the time and the car before that got torched in the apartment parking lot by some crazy person. So I'm more worried about the weirdos in our building than getting all those security items lol

    Over here, at least in the vecinity, there is no dire need of such services in homes. I do have this type of security service at my store, but at home not so much. Dogs work ok there, and burglars, if they dare enter my house, a beating will solve it no prob. A friend of mine found a guy inside his car. He went to the guy, took him out and just beat the crap out of the guy. Most of these guys are crackheads, so a beating is more than enough for your security. How bad are they here in town? If a guy gets close to you, just say, boy if you don't want to get a beating, just go away. Lol, they will turn around and leave ASAP lol. There are however the very tough type, in which case you just ask someone else to help you beat them down =P. Long comment, gomen.

    No, employers in Germany can't monitor their employees like that. There are laws against that in this country. A German supermarket chain tried something like that with their employees, even going so far to hire a private detective to monitor their private life. End of the story was a nation wide scandal and no more monitoring, except for the monitoring that is set up for (and only for) scaring of and tracing shoplifters and other thiefes.

      If the fines that companies have to face for breaking such laws weren't as laughable they wouldn't dare to do this. It's not just a single supermarket chain doing such things. A lot of companies in various economic sectors are doing this like fast food chains, furniture retailers or food companies.
      Additionally, it hardly happens that they have to actually pay the fine even after being caught red-handed.

        I know but at least their public relationship suffered a bit... well not that it stops people from buying there. Most Germans seem to be so forgetful, it worrys me to no extend Oo

        Well, that's the other side of the coin, and it's a friggin huge one too (bends time and
        space by dividing by zero to be bigger than the other side... it's quite complicated).

    The singing scared off Astroboy, the singing woke up Astroboy, the singing made Astroboy angry and the singing made Astroboy snap XD

    Of course, the best thing is not to parade your valuables in a way that the entire neighborhood knew about it since yesterday midnight.

    Of course, the easy way would be to employ a company like Alsok. I just wished the package included an automatic turret.

    My house is equipped with security equipment, but not with all those stuff, only with motion sensors, and its enough. But most of the houses in my area are protected, when the value of the house and its content reaches a certain amount, if you have house insurance, they make you protect it. Guess that the insurance company don't want to pay you a load of money if you are robed.

    They still lack: Bullet proof assault vehicles, bullet proof vests, grenade launchers, semi-automatic weapons, attack dogs, rifles, helicopters and tracking devices on cars and bikes.
    But all of that will be useless unless they have a response time of under 5 minutes since the thieves can bypass all of the systems and empty a house in 10.

    Well, lets see, I work on security and know a lot about this, and I can tell you all that any security system have lacks.Can pass 2 minutes betwen the alarm advise, and the most close patrol appears in the place. Same for detetors, cameras, and stuff, if the robber escapes, eveything else is a waste. And the robot stuff don`t looks reliable...

    Guess all this suits for japanese criminals, but in other country bulgars are more hostile. An advise: Security is prevention, there is no other better security system that prevent thing to happen.

    Nah. Japan without security would still be like 100x safer than Brazil with the latest piece of security equipment.

    And right now I'm living in an apartment alone with no security apart from the regular stuff.
    Back at my home we have monitored alarm system though.

    But would be awesome to have super sentai alarm systems. XD
    I wonder if they have power bazooka or something. :P

      How about a mine field and spring guns around the house? And if you have a little cash to spare just buy a spy satellite that will roast intruders with it's laser.

      A few traps (Indiana Jones-style) near the entrance won't hurt (you) either. Then your home should be safe as long as there's no false alarm. :)
